Crocheting

I've been playing around with some crochet this weekend...
I started with this sock pattern from Ravelry. (anyone on ravelry, my username is vanessascatvet)



It came out a little bulky and loose at the ankle, but it is very soft. I will use some higher quality yarn next time because this yarn was no fun to crochet with. Zoe approves of the yarn though!



I also wanted to make a neck cozy to keep that gap between my vneck shirts and the cold metal of my ski jacket zipper from getting me down. This is a picture of the finished project before I felted it.



And this is after felting. It is SO much softer now that it is felted. I'm really glad I felted it, but I was nervous before hand since that ruffle took me a good hour and I didn't want to ruin it.



Here is an action shot of the completed project!

I love the neck warmer--cute and warm, two of my favorite things!
